Description: One Night In Emergency marks the television debut of critically-acclaimed playwright, Gregory Burke. Inspired by Homer’s Odyssey and Gregory’s own experiences, this drama charts one man’s journey through the wards of an overrun, inner-city hospital.

Peter and Penny are an ordinary middle class couple but when Penny is admitted to Accident & Emergency with what appears to be a minor complaint, their world is turned upside down.

Peter is slow to leave work and arrives at the hospital late. It’s a busy night, and the emergency department is full. Frustrated by the lack of help he receives, Peter decides to wander the corridors in search of his wife.

As he ventures deep into the labyrinthine building, diverted by a series of strange encounters. Over 24 hours, he is drawn into a surreal parallel world. Will he escape in time to see the woman he loves and atone for past mistakes?
